Its a great tool and works well. Unfortunately many of the useful features are only available to premium subscribers.

The application is decent, but the big issue with it is that it underlines the wrong parts of the text. If I accept suggestions for improvements, the cursor, along with the text, jumps all over the place and scatters it. The developers must fix this; it's a bug that has caused issues since 2020.
